Very nice area. A lot of space available inside the clean appartments. Just a few renters on a big property with a beautiful swimmingpool. Real Tuscany feeling.

We had a great time at Casa frati. The villa was beautifully renovated and had very unique furnishings and a wonderful pool. Very comfortable for a family of 4. Melanie S. from Toronto, Canada

This is a simply lovely place to stay, particularly if you've got kids. It is a family-run establishment, run by Marina and Francesco, who could not be more welcoming. Marina teaches Tuscan cooking for a living and part of the experience is the offer of a Tuscan cookery course, followed by a traditional Italian evening meal with the family!

The facilities are lovely and homely apartments, each with a private area. There are all the cooking implements, plates, dishes, tools you could wish for. Bedrooms are good sixe and in our apartment there was choice of 2 showers. There is a simply lovely communal swimming pool sunk into the middle of a large grassy area which is lovely to sit at and perfect for keeping an eye on the kids. We couldn't improve on the experience if we tried! Thanks you, so much, Marina and Francesco (and your kids) for a simply perfect experience and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone!

Villa Olimpia is a beautiful villa -- very spacious and well equipped. Our group of 16 people had plenty of room, and there are plenty of bathrooms. The owners were very friendly. We had some problems with the washing machine malfunctioning, and it is a small model that works very slowly when operating properly. The pool and grounds are also very nice and well kept. There are lots of VERY AGRESSIVE biting flies that make it difficult to relax and enjoy the pool and the yard. The villa is very isolated -- not near any towns or shopping, but we found it pretty well located for trips to Florence, Pisa, and other locations. We had cooks -- Lorenzo and his aunt Laurena -- come to the villa and prepare meals and clean up afterwards each night. They were fabulous, as their meals were delicious and reflective of the local cuisine and customs -- really recommend them highly.

We genuinely ednjoyed the place and the owner was very accommodating. Our only "grumble" was that the pool is not conveniently accessed from the "sitting area" in the garden - steps down would have been much easier and made the pool area more "inclusive" (the existing access is walking down a gravel path... and the pool is not easily overseen from this sitting area)
